Our story

I run with a phone. Maps, music, a way to get home. I tried holding it. That lasts about a mile, then your fingers go cold and you start thinking about the phone more than the run. I tried an arm strap. It dug in, it slipped, and it looked like kit designed for someone else. I tried stuffing it into a sports bra, which is a terrible idea the first time you lean forward.

The pockets on most running leggings are not pockets. They are a slit that holds a keycard if you are lucky. Mine needed to hold a large phone without bouncing, without digging, and without making me think about it at mile six.

I wanted a side pocket deep enough for a large phone, sitting still when I stride. A back pocket for keys, a card and a gel. Nothing bouncing, nothing riding up, nothing ending up in my hand at mile four.

Mesh went where I actually sweat, not where it looks sporty in a lookbook. The fabric had to have enough weight that it does not go sheer when you move. I run in this kit. If it fails me, it does not go on the site.
